Thanks for helping me carry all of the stuff, Kotori! I know it's not much, but here's a strawberry parfait for your hard work. Go on and eat up!

Oh, thanks! It's really no big deal. A friend in need is a friend indeed, right? I know you'd do the same.

You really were a lifesaver. If you didn't come by when you did, I probably would've collapsed from exhaustion.

You'd need a forklift to carry all of these veggies on your own! I wish I could've been around earlier to help you out.

No, you were more than helpful! Look, the parfait's gonna melt if we keep chatting! Let's dig in!

Right! I'll help myself, then!

Mmm! This is so tasty!

*Giggle* I'm gonna help myself, too.

Mmhmm! The chocolate parfait is good too!

So by the way, why were you carrying all those vegetables?

I was performing a show in the shopping district just now and got them as a kind of thank you. They're apparently prized organic veggies… But what do I do with them all?

Hmm… Oh, I know! How about hotpot? You can eat up a bunch of vegetables if you make hotpot.

Hotpot, huh? I've never made it before.

Then let's have a hotpot party where everyone helps to make it! Now let me think… With all of those veggies, how does a tomato hotpot sound?

A hotpot party! That sounds like so much fun! Let's do it!

[Fade in/out.]

Thanks for coming to my super-exciting, heart-pounding tomato hotpot party, everyone!

What?! For one's heart to pound when eating hotpot, it must mean you are brewing up a dark hotpot of the night to summon Lucifer! I'm impressed, Emma!

Ugh, for crying out loud. Did you not hear her mention it was a tomato hotpot? The lengths you go to hide your excitement over being invited, Yoshiko. Honestly.

I'm not Yoshiko, I'm Yohane! And who said anything about me being excited, huh?!

I took all of the ingredients to the cafeteria!

*Chuckle* It's like a home ec class.

Is this gonna turn out good? Rina-chan Board says, “Woo-hoo!”

They're supposed to be quality organic veggies so I just know they'll be yummy!

I'm looking forward to it.

What kinds of vegetables do you have?

Let me see… I've got tomatoes, zucchinis, pumpkins, cabbages, onions, carrots, bell peppers, eggplants, turnips, and celery. There are a LOT of tomatoes!

Wow, that's a lot of vegetables. Prepping them up is gonna take a while, so let's get into it.

Hey, how are we gonna finish off our hotpot meal?

We were having a lengthy debate on the way here about whether to make risotto or pasta with the leftover hotpot.

Oh no! There's no right answer to that one.

Hmm… I want to eat them both.

I'm with Rina! Let's make them both!
